The term "bath salts" describes illegal designer street drugs that have been linked to violent delusions and even death.

The DEA last fall banned three chemicals commonly used to make bath salts: mephedrone, MDPV, and methylone. Possession or sale of these synthetic
stimulants could result in federal drug charges.

Despite new laws and a growing awareness of bath salts' side effects -- notably, dangerously high body temperature, extreme paranoia, and vivid
hallucinations -- the use of bath salts seems to be on the rise in the United States. Poison-control centers tallied more than 6,100 bath-salt
emergencies in 2011, up from just 303 in 2010.

Ok, I am functional again. Doing frame by frame analysis yields several other anomalies, besides the car at 5:02.

At 2:26 "something" goes in front of the bench, before both characters come into view. It appears they are under the fronds, having an argument,
and throws something "roundish" up the boardwalk. It takes about 15 frames to roll past, so it was thrown quickly. It is also casting a shadow on
the ground as it travels, so it was in the air, thus being tossed. The same artifact also travels in the middle of the road, as a white "roundish"
shape. This is a weird anomaly. Here are two frames from the 2:26 point, about 17 frames apart. Remember, there are 29 frames in each second.

There's also the barrier between the roadway and the sidewalk. The light object and the dark object move in sync, the dark casting a shadow, so it
doesn't appear to be a mirror image. I'm currently at a loss for a logical explanation.

Here's the white dot in the roadway right before it disappears. One frame it's there, the next it is gone.

It appears there is more than just a little video tampering going on. Play through the 2:25 to 2:27 range, and you'll notice it.

Any ideas?

I have to hit the hay, but there's several other anomalies I noticed as well. I'll document them later.

Only just quickly checked the first 3 minutes you noticed the anomalies and jumps in, as haven't got a lot of time. But will be back later.

Not sure what the anomalies (the white blobs) you pointed out are, they could be anything really. From a trick of light/reflection, something blowing
in the wind, a glitch or something else entirely.

About the car not reappearing under the bridge. At that same time the tree stops blowing in the wind and also jumps, so i don't think anyone has
messed with certain parts of the video, i think the whole frame just jumps forward a second or two, or three(?)....I think another member mentions
that this happens a few times in the video. Now this could either be, a time lapse camara, where you do get jumps in frames for a certain amount of
time every now and again, a glitch, or it has been edited to jump a few frames.

The biggest thing for me was the car disappearing and reapperaing at the 5:00 min mark. This looks like the frame jumps forward a few seconds then
jumps back. As i said before this could be a glitch, or it may have been edited.

Personally i don't think the frame jumps, possible edits or anomalies pointed out are nefarious in any way, as in i still don't think it takes
anything away from the situation that has happened.

This is the third news item this week about cannibalism. This one in Florida, another where a mother kills and eats part of her baby's brain, today,
another man kills roommate and eats some of him. Where is this coming from??

The Mother killing her baby is an incident that happened in 2009. She was a Schizophrenic, and possibly suffering with Postpartum Psychosis aswell,
likely having severe delusions.

Because of this Miami incident, Reporters and People are going to be actively seeking out stories like these, old and relatively new. To sell news,
out of basic human curiosity, or to try and make connections where there likely is none.

Sadly all throughout our existence, some people have flipped and gone crazy for all kinds of different reasons and sometimes awful, unthinkable things
happen. On occasion a very small perecntage of people do this kind of thing because they like to (certain psychopathic serial killers for example), or
feel it has some kind of spritual, religious ritualistic significance to carry out these kinds of acts. It doesn't mean there's some sort of epidemic
going on at present. It just means it's being reported more. Gruesome stories sell.

i watched the video again, and thought it was edited, but
was it edited for good reasons...or for evil

DID YOU NOTICE.....at 1:58, THERE IS A POLICE TRUCK that drives past.....

and in minute 7, i came to the conclusion that in miami, there are only 6 or 7 different type of cars available...
whats your fascination with grey pickups and white minivans....lol

i got tired watching it, it SEEMED at first glance that the same cars that go by in the 2nd minute are the same cars in th 6:50 going through 7mins...
and the 9mins.....im sure im seeing doubles.....but i`l work it out later.

end of the day, the cctv is not a smooth 20 minute recording,,,,,and the "secondary" footage should not be used as evidence....that is if it is
secondary/doctored

As for the car, perhaps it stopped to look at what was going on?

Just like you all call hoax, I feel obligated to fight for it validity

lol...im not saying its a hoax.....but what about the vanishing and reappearing act....

the only logical explanation is that the car left the screen, then reveresed to take a look, as the camera glitches.
but thats a righ turn there, a junction....once you cross a busy junction , with cars coming off a freeway behind you....seems illogical he revesed

The footage, is very far away. You can barely make out what is happening. It's very likely that we could see anomalies in there, because it's so far
away. These anomalies could be easilly put down to lots of things. Birds, bugs, sun reflection, something blowing in the wind, or a camara artifacts.
I'm also wondering if the camara is a timelapse CCTV camara, some camaras do jump frames at certain intervals. Perhaps someone with better knowledge
can chime in with this one.
Also, this camara is possibly out exposed to the elements, how old is it? Does it get maintained regularly? Could it be glitchy because it's old?
Another thing is, could the upload process to Youtube or other sites have made the footage more choppy than the original tape?

Just some thoughts on the matter really.
